"What are Your deeds, O God? One begins by praising Your great name and says, 'What are Your deeds, O God?' But the depth of Your thoughts is a great abyss. No one can know them fully.

A simple person from Israel should learn from the wise sages of Israel, as it is said, 'Understand this, you senseless among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise?' (Psalms 94:8). But a person who is knowledgeable in the ways of the nations is like a fool who does not understand the words of the Torah, as it is said, 'A fool does not understand this' (Psalms 92:7). During the flourishing of the wicked, when you see them increasing like grass and blossoming like the workers of iniquity, do not say 'Hallelujah' until they are destined to be destroyed, as it is said, 'Let them be destroyed forever' (Psalms 92:8).

And similarly, it is said, 'Let sinners be consumed from the earth' (Psalms 104:35), and 'The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away' (Psalms 1:4). But You, O Lord, are exalted forever.
